ArtsUnion 2005

In the fall of 2004, the Council kicked off the Union Square Affair series. In 2005, the council was awarded a cultural economic development grant to broaden our Union Square efforts.

ArtsUnion is a project initiative designed to boost the cultural economic development of Union Square, Somerville. The ArtsUnion initiative, sheperded by numerous local organizations, artists, businesses and community members, is expected to spark community-wide excitement about the Square, as well as create new economic opportunities for local artists. Over time the project will strengthen the regional identity and long-term appeal of Union Square. ArtsUnion is funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and its John and Abigail Adams Arts Program.
